There will be giveaways for children visiting the exhibitions. Other highlights include release videos for stamps and special covers, Drone Activities, Selfie Points, Live Painting by Artists and Painters, Special Covers with VR, Curated and Guided Tours, Magnifying Glasses to magnify small stamps, Philately Movies on Digital Screen, and Time Capsule.
The art of collecting stamps, philately, is more than a hobby. Philately increased our knowledge of history, culture, art and nature and is a lifestyle choice that can help us connect and ground ourselves.
In modern times, when Internet and mobile phones took over our lives, for a brief period, philately found itself relegated to a quaint hobby. However, it is through this very Internet, philately is once again gaining traction. Online philatelic marketplaces have come up across India and across the world. In addition, access to many media, has made it much easier for collectors to participate enthusiastically once again.
On its part to keep alive this enriching hobby, India Post has an exclusive Philately Promotion Programme. Through this programme, India Post has been organizing philatelic exhibitions at different levels – state, national and international. The objective is to educate the public, children and youth in particular, about the culture, heritage, history, and famous personalities of India and to encourage philately as a hobby.
